Chapter 423: Request for Reinforcements
"Han!!!"
Ōnoki was once again blocked by the Third Raikage, and as he watched the headless corpse fall to the ground, his anguished roar echoed across the battlefield. He wasn't sure what pained him more—Han's death or the loss of Iwagakure's Five-Tails.
"What a pity, it was so close."
The Third Raikage's gravity effect was weakening, and a smug smile crept onto his face. He was already confident that victory in this battle would ultimately belong to Kumogakure.
"I want you all to pay the price."
Ōnoki tore his gaze away, forcing his emotions into check. There was no time for regret.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique."
Bringing his hands together and then parting them, a translucent cylindrical barrier appeared between his palms. Taking a brief moment to aim, he unleashed it at the Third Raikage.
From his hands, the translucent barrier stretched outward, transforming into a pillar of light. Though seemingly unremarkable, it radiated an overwhelming aura that made the Third Raikage uneasy.
As Ōnoki's old rival, he knew the power of Dust Release all too well. And now, fueled by hatred, Ōnoki's attack was even more fearsome.
Without hesitation, the Third Raikage pushed his Lightning Release Armor to its limits, narrowly evading the attack.
